Horse and pet owners searching for a veterinarian need look no further than the American Veterinary Medical Association’s (AVMA), MyVeterinarian.com, a new website that provides owners with detailed information about veterinary practices from around the country.

Whether they’re welcoming a new pet to the home, are moving into a new home themselves, or are looking for a veterinarian while out of town, horse and pet owners can access MyVeterinarian.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"There aren’t any other sites that give you as much information in one place," said Larry Kornegay, DVM, AVMA president and a companion-animal practitioner from Houston, Texas.

Visitors to MyVeterinarian.com simply type in a zip code if they’re looking for a veterinarian in a geographic area. The list that’s provided contains everything a pet owner needs to know: The clinic’s name, address, phone number and business hours; the medical services provided; the species of animals served; and the names of the veterinarians on staff. Practices can also list their website address, and a map is available to show the clinic’s location
